Creating our own opportunities
This issue of NIRSA Student Leader’s Notes is the final installment of the anthology of student leadership lessons that I began back in July.
Amplify your experience
Think intentionally about how you can amplify your individual experience. You may think about it through a professional, academic, or personal lens. What are you going to do this year that will amplify your life?
Building self-confidence and self-efficacy
I’d like to delve deeper into the concepts of self-efficacy and confidence as we explore the thoughts and insights of the students of Region VI and their student leader, Rachel Horras.
Growing through adversity
In this installment of Student Leader Notes, I am highlighting Region V students and our Region V Student Leader, DeVanee Lasley.
Collegiate recreation’s role in student resilience and grit
I’m excited to share stories from NIRSA students that show how they were resilient and demonstrated grit through their involvement with collegiate recreation.
Excellence versus perfection
In this issue of my Student Leader Notes, I’d like to introduce an anthology of leadership reflections each inspired by one of the regional student leader’s favorite quotes.
Revitalizing and re-energizing—as individuals and as a NIRSA family
Whether you’re still waiting on classes to finish or have entered into summer session, the advent of summer brings new meaning to the words revitalizing and re-energizing.
Forging our future—as NIRSA students
It is my hope that as NIRSA students, we take the time to reflect on the past year. Think of all the wins this year that brought you to where you are today.
Focus on love when confronted by hate
The past few weeks have been a struggle. I have always had a hard time dealing with hate, racism, and bigotry. I have always experienced it—and that probably won’t change anytime soon.
Why I have a long memory, but make a point of forgetting my mistakes
Recently, I’ve been able to take a step back and realize what mistakes teach us. I no longer view mistakes as signs of defeat. Instead, I view them as signs of growth.
